Yep, it's Our, twelfth anniversary: Seems like Only yesterday. As Methuse- lah said when they asked him how it felt the apt time he had his beard trimmed. ' * * It's a long time to live with a strange woman. Especially when she gets stranger every year. Well, not stranger, exactly, but more peculiar. Well, not exactly more peculiar, but, you know, uh, more sort of odd. Not really odd, of course, in the real sense of the word, but, uh, more kind of, uh, unexpected. * That's what gets me about it. Twelve years ago, I Married this dark -eyed, serene, little' girl„ just out of her teens. She thought I was some shakes„- I was a big • operator, ex -flight -lieutenant just out of the air force, been around, seen the world. She thought every- thing I said was gospel. She hung, literally hung, on my every word. My opinions were Mosaic in their • majesty. • * "Boy," 1 thought, "this is for me. This kid is just what I'm looking for. • So many of my friends have married those opinionated, over- bearing • women who are always - telling them what to do. •None of that for me. This ,kid knows quality when she sees it. She knows you don't ,get guys like me out of grab - bags. And" --Arid' she's 'so -quiet.: -Arid undemanding: She's happy, just to be with me." ' * - Well, she's still got the dark eyes. But did you ever pay much atten- tion to the color of eyes your sergeant -major was sporting, when you were in the army? * * * Know what she 'said- the first thing this • morning, before break- fast? On our anniversary? She said: "If you think I'm going to take the ,garbage- 'out again this week, you re crazy!" Imagine that. On our anniversary. And 1 hadn't even asked her yet. . Of course, she didn't know it was our anniversary. Nor did 1, until noon, when I brought home a card from her sister in the city, which carolled: "Happy Anniversary." She didn't burst into tears, as 'any normal wife would do, .She. just looked at me, in the diapassionate UNDER NEW • MANAGEMENT • lrocoiauc: (WAG t ..„ . , manner Iii'Whieh'ni6lit'Peihile 160k .8t 4 oPliglOr tligt4r40 At,c1t. 0 stomp — vim kids helOid .11 * usual.

Foster, RR. 3, Galeriar is back home after trip of "10,000 miles in which she used eleven 'different modes of travel—car; bus, plane, tram, street car, boat, train, taxi, elevator,4 escalator and rick-shaw. • Flying from Malton Airport on July '24th' at a height of 7;000 feet only; Montreal,sprawled out\ far below, was seen on theway to Gander • Airport. At- other times only white billowy clouds below formed the scenery, said Mrs. Fos- ter in a diary she kept of her trip aadrrivaLaL2testwick,-SeaL land, was in a heavy Mg.' Visits followed in Glasgow and London, where many historical spots were visited. Prom London she flew 'to Paris and found the coffee served aboard the plane was terrible but the tea very good. In, Paris she found it amusing to watch people going along the street carrying French rolls under their arms. The rolls were about . One , yard long and unwrapped. From Paris she went to Brussels,'" Belgium, and experienced no trouble with cus- toms officials. At the World's Fair it:. was , strange not to • find, any plate to ,buy soft drinks or ham- burgers: Returned to England by boat and .among places visited was home of William Shakespeare, in- cluding room where he was 'born. Back to Scotland, she went to Ayr to. visit birthplace of Bobbie' Burns. At Kirkaldy; Scotland, she tried to look up ancestral relatives since it was there that Captain Andrew Bogie, her grandfathar, was born, later becoming' a salt water sailor. At Edinburgh) she visited Edin- burgh Castle.' On the way home, the plane stopped over at Iceland, "It was a wonderful sight coming along the St. Lawrence River as the sun was coming .up 'and seeing the cities far below with their colored lights still on," said Mrs. Foster at the conclusion of the diary re - Oft on the trip abroad which was. in much more detail than that given above.

A Seaforth youth .who appeared jfl t,nagistrate's court at Goderich Thursday pleaded guilty to Wee Highway, Traffic Act violations and was remanded to jail for one week to await sentence. Joe Pero, 18, 'admitted he drove •carelessly, was under suspension at the time and had an ownership permit while prohibited from hav- ing a motor vehicle. "This young man was convicted just last •menth at Seaforth of driving while under suspension,", said Crown.. Attorney H. Glenn Hays. A car driven by the youth was in an. accident in Tuckersmith Township, near Clinton, on August 16.• Mero had been drinking all day at various "outlets" inthe county, said the crown attorney. According to the youth's story, he took to the ditch to avoid an oncoming vehicle. In doing so, he removed a long series of. guard rails "which didn't help his car any," added Mr. Hays. • Familiar Face When Harry Gibb, a Clinton youth, appeared in answer to a charge of driving while disquali- Red'Magistrate D. E. Holmes re- marked, "He didn't stay' out of trouble very long." In court here two weeks ago, Gibb was fined $50 and costs for impaired driving and ,his, license was suspended for six months. At that time, he was given " until September 18 to pay his fine. On the first occasion, Gibb had been driving a truck owned by a Stratford firm. In the second case, he was driving a car belonging to his cousin. This ear struck the rear of another auto at a Clinton intersection. • On the latest charge pf driving while disqualified, he was released on his own. bail of $100 and in- structed • to . return to court on September 25 to be sentenced. ,Iteith Miller, of R.R. 2, Bakfield, was fined the minimum amount of $10 and costs for careless driving. His ear was in collision with the left rear corner of a 1957 Lincoln, driven by. Mrs. Gladys Meier, of Stratford, on the Square, 'hear Montreal street, on August 21.• Mrs,,Meier said she was looking for a parking place and had just steed to let another car back out when her car was nicked by • the' 'Miller atitb,"Which. had been following. Defence counsel James Donnelly contended that the degree of negli- gence was not sufficient to warrant a conviction of careless driving, but the magistrate felt the man had been following the Meier car too closely under the circum- stance' . Provincial 'COO4table Morley Groves, on temporary duty with the town police force, investigated • the mishap.• • Speeding Charge' 'Morley Jelin Fischer, of Brussels, was fined $15•' andcosts for speed- ing at 65 mph. The complaint was laid by Provincial Constable Don Westover, of Goderich, who clock- ed Fischer's -vehicle near Taylpr's Corner on August 21. A one-week %adjournment was granted in the case of a Goderich man who faces four charges laid under the Canada Temperance Act. Three charges are of keeping for sale and the other is of bringing liquor into the county unlawfully. 1 TO LIST GoDEitio IN CLAIMED SOCIAL REGISTER Leading citizens of Goderich will have a place to themselves in the "Social Register of Canada," - says a news release to The 'Signal -Star from Social Register of Canada Limited, the firm publishing the book.
